Technology is supposed to make life easier, but it often makes it harder to take a break. Retreat to a world where cellphones and email were nearly a century away with this week's Escape to the Candlelight Inn in Red Wing, Minnesota.

Soak up the Old World ambience in the 135-year-old Victorian house, a beautiful reminder of an era before light bulbs, let alone touchscreen tablets. You and a guest will spend one night in Margaret's Room or the Heritage Room, Sundays through Fridays ($79). Or, opt for the Butternut Suite, Queen Victoria Room, or Rose Garden Room, Sundays through Thursdays ($89) or Fridays and Saturdays ($109).

The inn retains its historical charm with the exquisite stained-glass windows and intricate butternut woodwork. Each guest room features a private bathroom, fireplace and, for when you blow out the candle, luxurious bedding. Of course, if you simply can't resist checking your email, the inn also offers complimentary Wi-Fi.

Like the carefully chosen antique décor, close attention goes into preparing your full, three-course gourmet breakfast, a specialty of innkeeper Lynette Gudrais. Hunger sated, you'll be ready to set out on a hike along the Cannon Valley Trail or cruise on the mighty Mississippi aboard the Pearl of the Lake.

Whether you're looking for a romantic candlelit dinner or something more relaxed, Red Wing boasts nearly 50 restaurants to choose from. Grab a table for two at Harbor Restaurant, Bar & Marina for acclaimed food and a spectacular view of the river.

You deserve a break from your inbox, so leave the smart phone on its charger and take off on this timeless Escape to Red Wing.
